Verdict

Ladies Dancing was pulled up at Newton Abbot after making all and comfortably holding off Akkapenko at Stratford in August. The latter is now 4lb better off and has since been placed again at Newton Abbot so could come out on top this time. Thundering Home is in the veteran stage now but Richard Mitchell’s grey has won here three times and this is a poor race. Dream Free has already been beaten in a couple of sellers and Elysian Prince was only fourth in the lowest grade last time. Sin Sin drops in class but THOMAS BLOSSOM won this in 2016 under the experienced Josh Newman and is 5lb lower this year.
